House decorations for Halloween

I spent a total of $3 on this, and even had enough caution tape to decorate inside.

Went to the $ tree and got the masking tape, caution tape, and streamers.  For the eyes I used paper plates I had in the pantry, and colored the circles with a marker.

Refill Foaming Hand Soap

I love foaming hand soap, and with three little boys who are always getting their hands dirty (especially the older two) we go through a lot!  The only problem is this stuff isn't the cheapest. The small 8 ounce bottle is about $2.50, or you can buy the 32 ounce refill bottle for $4.00 or more.



To make your own foaming hand soap, you'll need just three things:
Water
Empty foaming hand soap bottle
Regular hand soap

Fill the empty bottle with warm water, but leave enough space at the top so when you put the dispenser back on it won't overflow.

Add about 2-3 TBSP of soap to the water, depending on the size of the bottle.


Put the dispenser back on the bottle, and gently swirl it to mix the soap and water.  I found rocking it back and forth slowly worked the best.

You'll have to pump a couple times, but you should see soap foam dispensing after that.
